The new iPhone 4G : Dragged into the Wild, red hot from the factory

Monik — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:29:13 +0000

For all those people who expected about a dozen posts conveying how the latest iPhone 4G would look, guys here's the real deal. The iPhone 4G itself and it's very difficult to say it's not made by the Cupertino's notorious company because we've got enough evidence to turn your mind. (Thanks Gizmodo) Let's talk about the iPhone 4G, in depth.

Design

The new iPhone design isn't revolutionary or something like that, but Apple has kept it simple but it still scores as you couldn't have expected anymore simplicity with all sorts of complex features wrapped inside. They've got a front facing camera too! The round back (which i hated) is no more. It's all flat like a football field now. If you've used a iPhone you would be familiar to the globular style shaping on the edges but the new iPhone has lost it and replaced is replaced with flat lining with metallic finish. The Back is still plastic or glass, quite obvious because they could have used aluminium but it would have costed the iPhone reception problems which is basically the priority in mobile devices though they have used it in the borders. All buttons except the home button have now been reformed to match the borders and have turned metallic. The symbolic joint volume switches are now separate (the ought to be, it's a selecting the correct button and pressing it). Lastly, this iPhone completes the complete Mac Family, it suits the rest of the products by Apple especially the iPad, MacBook and the iMac. The squared of feel also makes it look more elite compared to previous versions. Overall it is a game changer indeed.

Hardware

Geeks, gather round here. The new iPhone has a new standardization and is also a proof the genuinity of the the product. The components are so Apple-ish it is very difficult to deny that it could be a fake tip. The Phone's dimensions - 4.50 by 2.31 by 0.37 inches. The battery is larger than the 3GS battery, they managed to fit this in by minimizing the rest of the components inside. I'll recall the mentioning the front facing camera, it's up right next to the top speaker on the phone. Folks over at Gizmodo claim the new iPhone to have a higher resolution than the previous generations. It uses a micro sim, yes the one that's in iPad. Talking about the camera, it camera's lens is probably larger than the current iPhone and is now supported with Flash too!

Finally.

That's all what we know about the new iPhone 4G though we could not have the feel of the phone running as Giz couldn't pass through the Connect to Itunes image as the OS for the new unreleased iPhone isn't obviously available. For all those still tinkering how did Gizmodo get hands on the new iPhone, here's the story.

You are looking at Apple's next iPhone. It was found lost in a bar in Redwood City, camouflaged to look like an iPhone 3GS. We got it. We disassembled it

It surely is a much better improved version compared to the older version, and it's transparently visible with the classic appearance of the device.

A single ad on Twitter Homepage for one day is worth 500,000 dollars

Monik — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 08:19:03 +0000

Twitter has been offered $500,00 only if it could host a banner ad on it's homepage for 24 hours. Who is rich one to pay so much? It's uSocial, a company which focuses on Social Media Marketing. The Ceo of uSocial said,

While $500,000 may seem like a large amount to invest in one banner for one day, we believe that the investment will be more than worth it,

There has been no response from twitter, back on wether this is a deal or no-deal. But, twitter founders tell that, their focus should be on developing technology and improving twitter and if they would shift their focus to generating revenue, that would be a mistake. Twitters, Got a different plan in mind, they hope on charging people and brands using twitter for commercial purpose. $500,000 is a whole lot of money and 24 hours is not much time. Let's See if twitter approves it or not. Any Ideas, Suggestions list them down in the comments! Via Telegraph.

Breaking : Twitters List Features Goes live and makes it easier than ever to follow people

Monik — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:18:14 +0000

Twitters List Feature seems to be the most awaited one. Sometime back there was some news about twitter adding a new feature where you could automatically follow a group of people, and you won't have to go and click follow, follow, follow for people you wanted to add. This Feature is in Beta and now it has gone live for users, Including me and few more people. Here's a Quick Review of the new feature.

You'll see a box over your twitter profile, if your few of the lucky users who get to try out this feature, anyways this feature will be rolled out to public soon though.

Let me tell you what lists generally mean, it's like a group kind of thing where you can add the people your following, for example twitters made a list called, @twitter's team. Well, if you visit the list now instead of going to each workers profile you can simple just click on Follow the list and you will be able to follow the complete list in one go! How to Add it? It's simple. Just click on create new list on the top banner to get started. Then you'll be greeted with a box. What's Hit is that you can make private lists too :) Then after that i'll be taken to the list page, where i have to add the profiles of the users i am following. These lists will be arranged in this URL Manner - twitter.com/USER/LISTNAME So then i follow what's given there and i slowly move on to the Following page, where on the left hand side of every profile i see, another small icon which on clicking allows me to add that person to the list. Well, I can add the person to as many lists as i want. Simple, Right? Now, after adding people the list shows the latest tweets of the people you've added to the list, and above that it shows you to follow the list. So in One go you can follow all my friends! Well, how does it work? Here's a view of twitter team whom i followed as soon i got this feature. Well after the list feature being added, i see profiles also in a bit different manner. Now, near the Followers and Following Numbers on RIght hand side of your profile you can also see "Lists" and the no. of tweets gets shifted to below your user name. Have a look at my profile. Another Feature i found out was to see, which lists you are included in and which lists you've made all together. These can be accessed by clicking on the Lists Link on your profile page (Shown Above). Pretty Good Step by twitter ;)
